I couldn't find an existing thread on this, so I thought I'd start one up.

I found this on the goingear youtube channel:

Very interesting, you can customise your own settings. I've heard of similar lights being developed, but nothing that has come to the market.

Here's their website, the flash is a bit slow to load for me:

I just caught wind of this new light as well. Should have one arriving soon for review. I can't wait to see how much fun this one is. The concept is fantastic.

I want to bring this thread back up to the front because I just received a Nextorch MyTorch 18650 for review. At first blush, this one already looks like a game changer here. A completely user customizable/programmable light for a very reasonable price? I am impressed with it already. I've only just barely started to play with it, so I can't say much yet, but I'm going to give it a thorough going over for my review.

looking forward to this review... I'm surprised there isn't more hype about this.

I am very interested! What emitter is being used?

AardvarkSagus · Mar 25, 2011

Most of the models have a XP-E R3 I believe, but the 18650 model uses the XP-G R5.

Does this take P-60 style drop ins?

AardvarkSagus · Apr 28, 2011

No they do not. They have an integrated assembly that as far as I can tell is not easily removable. I'll look again tonight more specifically, but I don't think that it will.

wow, I did not know they had xpe-R3 available. I'm surprised there isn't more talk about this light, people are always complaining about how many modes a light should have, how bright the modes should be, etc.

The low PWM puts me off though.

AardvarkSagus · Apr 28, 2011

Yeah, that's one of the biggest frustrations I have with it, though in actual use, its not super noticeable. I wonder if they could do a firmware update through the data port to speed it up some.

The one thing I don't like is the chrome ring around the bezel... it's cheap chrome plated plastic, otherwise, it's a fun light to play with.
